After a year of saying how great Iowa caucuses were... they finish third in the caucuses and are beaten in every other caucus except two... they are not claiming they're undemocratic.
After saying that Michigan and Florida don't matter, and even Clinton Campaign senior adviser Harold Ickes voting to strip their delegates... now that they need Michigan and Florida's votes so they're saying that they HAVE to count.
After first promoting the special districts in the Nevada caucuses... They lost support of some of the major unions that used the special districts... so they came out as claiming the special districts were undemocratic...
In 2004 no one complained that Kerry was annointed the winner before NC and IN voted... but now that they need to win them we have to let them vote or we'll be disenfranchising them...
Slainte,
Rob Harrington

Subject: [Dems2008] Re: Media finally confirms Obama won Texas
Texas just proves that caucuses are not indicative of popular vote,
so how do any of us really know how the other caucus states would
have voted if they had a private primary vote. Do you think it's
fair that deployed military cannot vote in caucuses? I never
realized, as I imagine most people in states where caucuses aren't
used, just how undemocratic they are. I know it doesn't matter at
this point, but they should be done away with after this year. You
would saying the same thing if Obama was in this position, the only
difference is that the media would be backing him up. Obama will get
the nomination in large part because of caucuses, and then I guess we
won't know until November whether we put forth the strongest
candidate or just another loser. Lanny Davis, yes I know he's a
Hillary supporter, quoted a poll last night that said Obama is now
tied with McCain in Massachusetts, and if we could lose there, we can
lose it all.
